Fees and charges - Northamptonshire Archives Service

It is free to visit us, view documents and ask staff about the sources we hold and how best to pursue your research.

Our staff are friendly and knowledgeable and will guide you through the process of identifying which documents you would like to see.

Some additional services, such as the provision of digital images, carry a small fee. We also offer a research service for those unable to visit in person.
